Re: [ldm-users] NCEP ftp servers

If users are still having problems with either NOMADS or ftp.ncep.noaa.gov please contact NCEP directly at ncep.pmb.dataflow@xxxxxxxx. We all don't monitor these forum's regularly. Both servers are supported operationally in that they are up and are populating data (I can confirm this by 3am phone calls!), however the helpdesk and user issues are only during business hours.

NCEP does not support nomads.ncdc, that is run by NCDC entirely, so I can't speak to it. But if you are concerned that files are missing on nomads.ncep please email us and let us know exactly what you are seeing.

They changed the directory structure on NOMADS after their problems. I used to get the GFS from the master directory which contained every level up to 1mb. Now I have to get it in two parts the way I do on ftp.ncep.noaa.gov.

I'd just go to http://nomads.ncep.noaa.gov and look around and see if possibly file names are different/changed.

Which NOMADS?

I normally download GFS003 data as an alternate from ftp://nomads.ncdc.noaa.gov/pub/data/nccf/com/gfs/prod/gfs.YYYYMMDDHH/gfs.tHHz.pgrbfHH.grib2
However, I am seeing nothing.

Thanks.

I switched over to NOMADS. It is working OK.

Carissa Klemmer, Rebecca Cosgrove, and Yuejian Zhu already know about
the issue, are doing what they can to fix it.

There is no guarantee on these servers being up.

They will tell you that guaranteed data services can be fulfilled via a
lease line; Julie Hayes would be the contact for said service.
